Message: <blockquote data-quote="ZH" data-source="post: 37521" data-attributes="member: 3774">Hi Lucy Thanks for sharing this, really touched by your honest post. Just firstly well done for achieving what you already have - it definitely sounds like you're on the right tracks, with a bit more push, you'll be achieving more. I was in a similar position to you last year, working full time and studying the LPC part time and looking back I probably regret not putting in enough effort to my career so WELL DONE for doing that already. If I were to give some advice it would be:- try to allocate some time every week dedicated to your applications - apply for a wide range of opportunities if you can - open days, networking events, vac schemes (although your paralegal role sounds like you're getting some good experience!) and direct TCs. - the application cycle has just started - you have a whole year ahead of you but priorities come first - if you have a plan in place, make a list of the firms you want to tackle - get to really know them, events, open days, grad recruitment etc then start to tackle their applications, what are they asking, use resources, sign up to a mentoring scheme if you feel you will benefit from this, reflect on what went wrong last year, how you can improve. - Resources: getting your applications reviewedRemember your first draft will not be the final draft so when you feel motivated to write and have ideas in your mind, jot them down so they're in front of you then start to edit. I was trying to not make this post long but I guess there's a lot to say! All in all, learn from the past, give it your BEST this year and celebrate your achievements so far! I recently shared this post which you might find useful (although it might be more geared at undergrad students: <a href="https://zaiblogs.wixsite.com/blog/post/for-aspiring-solicitors" target="_blank">https://zaiblogs.wixsite.com/blog/post/for-aspiring-solicitors</a>) Happy to DM if you want <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />BestZ</blockquote>
